"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)

I would really value your prayers by Pastor John Samson

Ephesians 6:
18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Back on March 7, I had the privilege of hosting a live 2 hour radio program from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on what is perhaps the largest Christian radio station in the Phoenix area. I wrote of the experience here. It was a marvellous opportunity to talk about God as He really is, and the Gospel as it really is. The feedback I received was most encouraging. Though the Church at large is in need of great reform, I believe there is a growing cry in the hearts of God's people for the truths of God's word to be thundered out across the land once again.

Well today I got a call to say that the host of the show, Andrew Tallman, is celebrating the birth of his second child and will not be in to do the programs this week. The radio station called to ask if I would be available on Thursday evening to fill in. Though more than a little nervous at hosting a live call in program once more I said "yes."

This time, I have asked a friend of mine to join me, and he has agreed - his name, Dr. James White of Alpha & Omega Ministries at www.aomin.org

Please be praying for Dr. White and myself and this program as we minister God's word through this medium. It really is a marvellous opportunity for I am told that over 20,000 people are listening in at any given moment during this 2 hour time slot.

Thank you for your interest. Yes, unfortunately the radio station does not have a streaming link on the web page. I've asked about this in the past and they say they have put all their financial resources into upgrading the equipment, sound and strength of the radio broadcast rather than into web site streaming.

Perhaps there is a way for the program to be recorded and we can then make it available that way - perhaps through cassette tapes. We'll see.
